"Boss! Don't underestimate this New Optical Glass I developed. Let me briefly introduce its properties. Its strength can already compare with some high-strength steels, and its hardness has reached around 90.
Although it still cannot compare to diamond, it is far stronger than ordinary types of glass, and it is also much lighter, roughly comparable to aluminum alloy.
Most importantly, it has high-temperature resistance. Ordinary glass begins to soften at 250 degrees Celsius, while even tempered glass reaches its limit at 600 to 800 degrees. Of course, some high-performance glass can remain unmelted even at temperatures of 1,600 degrees, but its other properties are lacking, and it is extremely heavy.
For the glass I developed to soften, the temperature must exceed 1,800 degrees. Besides those properties, transparency is the most important aspect of Optical Glass. My glass has reached 99% transparency, with uniform refraction, no internal stress, and virtually no dispersion," Jia Qing said.
Seeing Zhang Yi's baffled expression, Jia Qing knew that he had not understood, so he said directly, "Boss, there's no point explaining it since you don't understand. How about this? I'll take you to see the finished product, and you'll know."
After saying that, Jia Qing led Zhang Yi toward his laboratory.
Upon entering the laboratory, Zhang Yi first saw glass fragments scattered all over the room. Clearly, these were Jia Qing's creations from this period.
After entering the laboratory, Jia Qing took out a piece of glass roughly one meter long and one meter wide and said to Zhang Yi, "Boss, look. This is the glass I developed. It is one meter long and one meter wide, but only three millimeters thick. Yet its strength surpasses that of glass measuring twenty to thirty millimeters thick. Even if you struck it directly with that big iron
